The Sharp Case.

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 2S.-Judge Com
stock began his argument in the Jacob
Sharp case this morning by following
up the same train of thought expressed
by Mr.. Nicoll yesterday. The principal
point he made was that the testimony of
Sharp before the sanate committee was
purely voluntary. He need not have
given testimony unless he felt so dis
posed, and if he chose to do so it was of
his own free will. This the court below
has held and this is our position.
Judge Comstock continued in the strain
and concluding. said that he agreed per-
fectly with his learned and hOnOred as
sOciate in the points he had touched
upon and argued. He paid glowing
tribute to Mr.. Nicoll. He said that the
people would not be slow to acknowl-
edge and pay the debt of gratitude
which they owed to Mr.. Nfcoll for
bringing to justice the greatest malefac-
tor OF the age. At 10:45 Albert Stick
ney arose and stated that the defense
had nothing further to offer. He re-
spectfully referred the court to the stem
Ographic report of the senate committee
and to the resolution of the senate ap-
pointing such a committee. Counsel all
left for New York at noon. 1t is the
general impression that the people
made a good case.

BUSINESS is ALL RIGHT.

The eroakers who have been predict
ing an early business collapse are get
ting the black eye from every source.
The New York Commercial Bulletin
says that the volume of merchandise
going into distribution is as large as
ever, and that there is remarkable ac-
tivity in the Northwest and Southwest.
And what is still more important, as
well as significant of business prosper
ity, collections are reported eommenda-
bly, prompt. So that while the croakers
are wasting their time in croaking, bust
ness is pushing right along with in
creased activity, and money is going
out and coming in in perpetual stream
in the accomplishment of the purposes
for which money is made. The bust
ness interests of this country rest on too
solid basis to be disturbed by croakers
or to be unsettled by the '.cornering"
processes of the spectators.

FOOLED THE WARDEN.
Jimmy" Hope Visited in tn
Prison by His Old Friend, Kelly

W
A sharp trick was recently played on
the officers of the penitentiary at Sing
Sing. Jimmy Hope, the notorious
"cracksman," who has been mixed up
in more big and daring bank robberies
than any other man living, is now an
inmate of that institution. He has only
just been brought back from California.
He is now an old man, and the police
authorities of this city want him where
they can put their hands on him, for
through him they expect to get hold of
$4,000, 900 or S4,O00,0C0 of bonds which
were stolen from the Manhatton Savings
Institution, of this city, years ago. Four
or five men have been tried for COM
plicity in the robbery, but only two
were convicted: "Billy" Kelly got out
of Sing Sing year ago last summer,
after serving ten years, sentence. aud
johnny" Hope, son of Jimmy" is now
confined there. Only short time ago
we'll dressed man of good appearance
applied to the warden of the peniten-
tiary to see Hope. He represented him.
self to be a relative who had come a
long distance and was anxious to have
a short talk with the convict, whom he
said he had not seen for many years.
The request being granted, the pair
chatted Tor an hour, and then the
stranger went away. He was none
other than "Billy" Kelly, and his
mission is supposed to have had
some reference to the disposition of the
long-sought bonds and the arrangements
of preliminaries for the defense of
Hope, who, it is expected, win be tried
for the Manhattan bank robbery. 1t
was not for some time after Kelly'S visit
that the prison authorities discovered
his identity. Then they felt very cheap,
for not only is it contrary to prison
rules to permit an ex-convict to
visit an institution, but special orders
had been given that under no circum-
stances should Hope be permitted to
communicate with any of his old gang.
Hope himself was the one who acct
dentally said to an old official, who
talked with him while on visit to the
penitentiary, that Kelly had been to see
him. The strangeSt thing about it all is
that nobody there recognized the caller,
for his trial excited a great deal of pub
lie interest at the time, and his pictures
were sent all over the country.

GAUDAUR BEATEN.
Teemer Wins the Great Race for,
the American Championship. =

Teener Wins the Great Race for
the American Championship. ~
LAKE MARANAcool, Me-, Oct. % -
The great race for the championship OF
America and $1,000 stakes between Jake
Gaudaur, of st. Louis, and John
Teemer, of McLeespOrt, was rowed this
morning on Lake Maranacook in the
presence of 10000 spectators, who had
come from all the surrounding cities
and towns. Teemer won in twenty
minutes twenty-eight and two-ffths sec
ondS. GaHdaur was half mile behind
at the finish and padded home leisurely.
Hundreds OF sporting men from Boston
and New York were in attendance.
Referee 0rmande had decided yeSter-
day afternoon that inasmueh as people
had come from such great distance
he would start the men at o'clock this
morning in order to give everybody
chance to reach home. The accom-
modations for witnessing the race
were very good for those who
had no desire to follow the
contestants, but the three small
steamers, which were crowded to their
full capacity, held scarcely 500 people.
A more orderly gathering was never
seen at a boat race. Teemer and Gau-
dduf were D06n dSElr early JlIS morning
for walk along the banks of the river
James keenan,, the hacker of the Nc
Keesport lad, offered to increase the
stakes to $500 side, but st. John, the
hacker of the st. Louis oarsman, refused
to do it. Teemer and Gaudaur have met
thirteen times before. The race for the
first mile was all that the spectators
could wish, but the McKeeSport lad
soon showed his superiority and drew
away steadily from Gaudaur. Gaudaur
tugged manfully at his oars, and with
his great strength and skill fully
brought into play spurted braveiy. but
to no purpose. Teemer came home like
race horse. leaving his rival away in
the rear. Teemer was fresh as a daisy
when he crossed the winning line, ana
the shouts of the thousands on shore
welcomed his victory. The judges were:
At the start, Al Hamm for Teemer and
George Lee for Gaudaur; at the turning
stake, Wallace Ross for Teemer and
Peter Conley for Gaudaur. John Ken
nedy, the well known oarsman, was
starter
